I have a problem seeing certain IP's in my own subnet assigned by the ISP, looking for help on how I can get it to work.
I have my SuSE Linux workstation with 192.168.1.25 behind a NAT router which is the default gateway for the workstation at 192.168.1.1. Now, I have a second IP in my wks within the subnet assigned by the ISP let's say 1.2.3.43/29, this is to allow hosting of some services, no firewall in place, yet. I have another Linux server at 1.2.3.44/29. I cannot see the other Linux server from my workstation. Perhaps routing can accomplish this for me, but I'm totally stupid on how to set that up, can someone suggest?
Well a 29 bit (255.255.255.248 if I have my mind in order) mask only allows 6 hosts, and sometimes routers (such as your ISP, or your router) are setup to NOT allow certain kind of direct traffic to cross the wire, like pings. Since you didn't say, I'm wondering if that's how you are determining that you can't "see" the other workstation. -- See Ya' Howard Coles Jr. John 3:16!
